Chiara’s expression looked absolutely dark. She browsed Twitter. She had found it most frustrating as of late. After looking at the headline, her expression turned extremely dark. “Dad, is it true that you’ve got a mistress?!” The photo published this time was different from the last. Chiara clearly saw the mole on Theodore’s face from the recent photo. Theodore did not have the mole on his face in the past. The mole grew on his face just recently. She also noticed the tiny mole on his neck. It was clearly shown in the photo. The mole grew just recently as well. “How could this be?! “How is this possible?!” If the photo was edited, how could they possibly pay attention to such details? With these questions in her mind, Chiara questioned her father. Theodore was panicked. “Don’t you know what type of person I am? I’ve been faithful to your mother all these years. How could I possibly have a mistress?! “Besides, they have been out to slander me. Of course they will ma
Theodore did not expect the photo of their meeting to be captured once again. He looked carefully at every angle of the photo and confirmed that Kathy was not the one who edited it. “I’ll find a way. But you need to keep yourself in check these days. Our situation has changed.” Despite saying this, Chiara was actually sounding Theodore out. Theodore knew her daughter well. He said while aggrieved, “I’ve kept myself in check these days. They are making up stories. Don’t believe everything posted on Twitter. That b*tch is trying to get us with her terrible tricks.” Chiara inhaled sharply and tried to remain calm. If it was really Ivanka’s “horrible” tricks, she had been most proficient. “We’ll hang up now. I’ll find a way.” “I’m so proud of you as my daughter. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. Sigh.” After finishing the sentence, Theodore could not help but heave a sigh. “I know. I’ll hang up now.” “Okay.” They stopped exchanging pleasantries. Chiara hung up. She was
Sandy instantly replied to Ivanka disdainfully, “Loafing on my job, my foot?! I’m a conscientious worker. Why would I loaf on my job? “How could I possibly loaf on my job?” Sandy stressed that again. Ivanka chuckled. “Got it. You don’t loaf on the job. You’re just being lazy.” “Please! By the way, you must be tired after catching the flight the whole day. Are you lying down on the bed?” “I’m going to. I just finished blowing my hair dry.” While saying this, Ivanka walked to the bed. Before she sat down on it, someone knocked on the door. She glanced at the door and said to Sandy, “I’ll call back to you in a while.” “Okay.” Ivanka hung up. Then, she walked to the door and opened it. Michael stood in front of the door with a folder. It looked like an empty folder. She said nothing and waited for him to start the conversation. Michael passed her the folder and said calmly, “Here’s the organizer’s information. Have a look.” Ivanka took the folder and nodded. “Okay.” Ind
Ivanka had nothing to say. She knew all about what happened last time. However, she did not know what to say at that moment. Romance was a subjective matter, and only the person in question could call the shots. She could only say she somewhat understood what kind of person Ivan really was. Since she did not fully understand him, there was no way she could possibly persuade Sandy to be with him or to ignore him forever. “Do you want to answer it?” Sandy instantly snorted coldly, “Of course not. I don’t want to hear him speak now, and I don’t want to have any contact with him. Ivan has changed into an entirely new person. He’s like a simp now. If I didn’t know that he was after the thing that my godmother left me, I would think that he was serious about me.” Ivanka stilled for a moment. She did not say anything. No one could tell what was going on about their relationship.“Cr*p! He’s calling again! It’s so annoying! Is he ever going to stop?!” “Have you been ignoring him
In order to help care for Michael’s stomach, Ivanka made all of his meals. Throughout that period, Michael’s stomach was really well cared for by Ivanka. After eating, Ivanka then looked at Michael. “What are we doing today?” “Let’s explore for a bit,” Michael said calmly. Ivanka did not say anything. Her silence seemed to imply agreement. It was certainly not common for him to say something like that. If they were going to explore and walk around, they would surely come across something. Either that, or they would be out to observe something. The two of them washed up and headed out. Evan drove while Ivanka and Michael sat in the back. In the car, neither one of them spoke. It was so quiet that not even the music was on. Eventually, Evan stopped the car and said softly, “We’ve arrived.” Ivanka watched as Michael got out of the car. Then, she followed suit. Looking around, this place was remote and far from the city center. It was outside the main city streets. B
There were not that many people. A table could fit dozens of people. But there were only three people here. It was a rectangular table. The man sitting at the head had a cigar in his mouth. There were five cards in his hand. He had one foot on a stool, and he looked annoyingly confident. Michael walked up and said calmly, “Do you still need more players?” The small group was originally watching their cards carefully. When they heard Michael’s voice, they immediately raised their heads to look at them. Michael was dressed in a suit. His reserved, elegant aura and his cold features made several people feel that he was not to be trifled with. When they spotted the top-notch beauty standing behind him, the people around them suddenly stared at them understandingly. Two of them even exchanged glances. The leader immediately said, “There are only a few people at this table. Of course, there are seats for you. Are all three of you joining us?” Michael did not say anything. He chos
Besides, she had never been afraid of anything.Come what may, she would handle it. “Though there is a saying that goes ‘ladies first’, two of your men are already down. If I were to reveal my cards first, won’t it look like you’re afraid?”Ivanka smiled softly. It was clear that she was giving the man the opportunity to show his cards first.The man laughed and said, “In a casino, you’ll either lose or win. Go ask anyone in this casino whether I’ve ever been afraid. You might say that I’m asking you to go first, but both of my men have already shown their cards before you. Why don’t we do this? On the count of three, let’s show our cards at the same time.”“That’s a pretty good suggestion.”Ivanka smiled and nodded in agreement.The man started counting. Things started to become tense as the man counted out loud. However, the tension was only on the men’s side.Because, for them, their reputation as the “Gambling Gods” in the casino was on the line. They also wanted to ta
Five of hearts. The number was right in the middle again.Ivanka did not say anything and raised her hand. She was signaling them to show their cards too.Soon after, they then started to show their cards in clockwise order. The trio on the other end said nothing this time and just flipped their cards over.It was a three and a two respectively. Bert and the man’s other henchman were down for the count. But the moment the man at the head of the table flipped over his card, his eyes lit up. He was snickering with joy in his heart, because he opened a seven. It was a spade too!The man boldly pushed forward another stack of chips worth two hundred thousand dollars. He did not say anything but instead nodded at Michael. Michael ignored it and flipped his cards coldly. A ten! This round, the man’s additional chips went into Michael’s pocket, but the man was upset. “There are three of us and two of you. According to the odds of the cards being dealt out, it’s not fair.”
